Over on our sister education blog Mortarboard, Tanya Byron (yes, that Tanya Byron) has a piece lobbying for the introduction of better and data use in schools. "Online reporting is not about replacing or duplicating traditional methods of involving parents, such as parents' meetings or annual reports," she argues. "It's about giving parents up-to-date information at appropriate points through the year". Yup, instant measurement could be really useful... just don't take it too far, eh?
